Just making a note to remind my future self that on and around this date I got totally consumed by LLD.
Blame the concert, maybe? I’ve mostly seen it through replays, but I hauled myself awake to watch the last hour of day two and I’m so glad I did. There’s a different energy in watching something live, and even though I couldn’t understand the words, it meant a lot to see them say goodbye. Everyone just seemed to like each other so much!?! And a lot of the cast have been in the industry for a while, so it didn’t feel like a debut performance, but more like the realization of a long cherished dream for them to be there in front of thousands of fans who’d been dreaming of them in return. idk, I keep having emotions about it. And about the hug.
And about the words.
It’s one thing to lightly encourage a CP, it’s another to stand in front of an audience, to thank them for the love they’ve shown you, and to promise your acting partner that you’ll always be there for them in the future, while you both try not to cry. And this is after two evenings of easily displayed physical intimacy, relaxed teasing, and blatant fondness. Obviously, I don’t know either of these people and I have no idea what their private relationship is like, but I love them both for what they’re willing to show. They’ve come a long way from the show’s opening ceremony, but you can still see the echoes, in ZZH’s confidence & GJ’s careful attention.
-There’s a list of moments that were cut from the replay here
-This this fan's vocal cords are truly impressive
-And now Hao Jingfang wants to write a sci-fi novel inspired by them
